Cameras and Water
For the last 2 days I have not been able to find my camera. I have looked high and low. Last night we had another major downpour, starting at around 10:45pm. It rained well into the middle of the night, and this morning it is a cool 60 degrees and cloudy. Usually I bring the cushions to my outside chairs in so they don't get wet and moldy, but last night I didn't know it was going to rain, and when it did I just didn't think about it. This morning I went out to tip the cushions up so that some the water runs off, and to my surprise there was my camera. I wished that I was seeing things because I know that digital cameras and water don't mix well, but indeed I was not seeing things. I picked it up and turned it on, and it seems to work! I haven't tried to take any pictures, and I won't until it is completely dried out, so we'll see. The camera card was not in it because I had forgotten to take it out of the laptop when I posted the 2 cousin camp pictures, and I don't want to stick it in a wet camera. If it turns out that it doesn't take good pictures, it didn't work that great for outside pictures anyhow...we have actually been looking into getting a new one, but this one was going to be Michael's so that I wouldn't have endless lego and car video pictures on my camera all the time. Hopefully he can still use this camera.

Loverly, just peachy, Oops moment! I hope it works ok.
Once when I was in jr. high someone stole my little camera. Remember the 126 film? It was out in the weather, snow, rain,... for well over a week before oneof the kids found it. I don't remember if the camera still worked, I think it did, but I did have the film developed.
Digital is "a whole nother" story. Water and anything computerised or digital is bad. I hope it's okay too.
Well, you got some picture so your deals, so I assume it still works?
What's the verdict on the camera by now?
